There are a few revivals currently running on Broadway. They include Fiddler on the Roof, The King and I, and Les Miserables. This does not compare to the slew of new musicals that have opened up on Broadway. The types of shows featured on Broadway have an adventurous theme. Many of the protagonist have to go on a journey whether it's for love or self-discovery. I don't believe that shows like RENT shock people today because we are being exposed to controversial subjects more and more due to other outlets like, t.v., social media, magazines, etc., that also cover a lot of the same subjects dealt with in modern musicals. I think that the shows playing on Broadway represent the diversity in our culture. There seems to be something for everyone
